Native Americans have a long history of political disenfranchisement. Today, restrictive voting practices exclude tribal voters from the electorate and discriminatory citizenship policies limit Native American representation in politics. Innovative solutions are needed to increase access to voting and protect Native political participation.

The Native American Rights Fund and the Brennan Center for Justice are working together to uncover both the challenges to equitable political engagement and the opportunities to cultivate it. At the one-day Democracy Reform Summit, we will join Arizona State University’s Indian Legal Clinic to host policymakers, experts in civic engagement, legal advocates, and leading researchers to discuss strategies for expanding Native American political representation.

Join us on Friday, October 3, at Arizona State University’s Beus Center for Law and Society for a discussion about how to counter antidemocratic reforms and reenvision a democracy that amplifies Native voices.

Produced in partnership with the Native American Rights Fund and the Indian Legal Clinic at ASU Law
